Brexit: Deal or No Deal (European Union Committee Report)
"My Lords, perhaps I could point out that neither Mr Juncker nor Mr Barnier write the script; it is written by 27 member states’ Heads of Government. They are the people who decide what is right or wrong, and they are chosen by their electorates.
I agree with the noble …..."Lord Teverson - View Speech

Brexit: Deal or No Deal (European Union Committee Report)
"To set the record straight, the EU is about to offer a free trade deal. That is where it is desperately trying to get to. It is not preventing it; it is trying to get it, and it is offering Canada, which is a free trade deal...."Lord Teverson - View Speech

Brexit: EU Citizenship
"I thank the Minister for that extensive reply, although I find it disappointing.

Brexit: Negotiations
"My Lords, it is a pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Foulkes, particularly with that endorsement of the Liberal Democrats, which I have never heard him make previously. I probably never will again.

Written Question
Monday 24th July 2017
Asked by:
Lord Teverson (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to integrate their negotiations with Euratom to withdraw from the Euratom Treaty with their Brexit negotiations; and if so, how.
Answered by Baroness Anelay of St Johns
As set out in the Prime Minister’s letter to Donald Tusk triggering Article 50, the UK will withdraw from the Euratom Treaty when it leaves the EU. We look forward to discussing Euratom, along with a range of other issues, in the upcoming negotiations. On 13 July, the UK published our position paper on nuclear material and safeguards issues, and will be working through these issues in next week’s negotiating round.

Asked by:
Lord Teverson (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)
Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to negotiate transitional arrangements for their withdrawal from the Euratom Treaty.
Answered by Baroness Anelay of St Johns
The Government has been clear that the UK supports Euratom and wants to see continuity of cooperation and standards on nuclear issues.
The Government has also been clear that we want to maintain a close working relationship with the Euratom Community - specifically we see mutual benefits in working together on Research & Design (R&D) and regulatory issues.
The exact arrangements will be a matter for negotiations.
